Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II
The weather was lovely, the newbies had survived their shuttle, and yes, all the holes in the lawn from graduation had been filled and covered with new grass so everything looked normal and pretty. Well, pretty, at least.
[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

He belatedly pointed to his nametag so that the small green girl (maybe?) would know his name and not call him Meep like half the school already was.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Beaker," she said, sounding a little as though that line was rehearsed somewhat. "I'm Peridot."
But he was welcome to call her Meep Meep if he preferred.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
He meeped happily and offered her a slice of pizza.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
"I appreciate your offer," she replied, "but Gems like me don't eat."
More for him!
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
Was it always like this?
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
No one wanted to see Beaker with his shirt off. No one.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
"I don't know why they do it," she noted, looking thoughtfully around the picnic. "They don't run around without shirts most of the time, unless they're at the shoreline participating in recreational activities that might or might not involve actually getting wet..."
She shrugged a little.
"I don't entirely understand humans."
Clearly.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
"Do you understand them at all?"
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
Only sometimes.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
"That's what I thought," Peridot replied, sighing. "What a random species of weirdos."
No, no, 'Dot. Weirdos were a different species entirely.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
Beaker meeped, nodding vehemently, then held up the pizza. They weren't entirely useless?
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
Peridot gave a knowing nod to that.
"They do like triangles, yes."
She could forgive them on that basis alone.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
He grinned and nodded again.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
It was so great that they'd reached a mutual understanding based mostly about Beaker's easygoing attitude and Peridot's willingness to just make assumptions about anything she didn't perfectly understand!
And triangles, apparently. She nodded, satisfied, and then gestured back toward the table.
"If you finish that and require more in order to fuel yourself, let me know and I'll be happy to get it."
Because, again, shorties had to look out for one another here.
Re: General Mingling [Summer 2018]
He was going to spend a lot of time giving thumbs up.
